Do it. I've done it and the audiences I've performed for love it.

I wanna do a performance to this song!!!! But not in a ME restaurant, just at a student night performance in the local mexican restaurant.

Just had to get that off my chest...cuz otherwise I might just have to do something to Junk in the Trunk (My Humps) by the Black Eye Peas. Anybody else feel a compulsion to just go to town on that song?
Someone on Bhuz wanted to dance in a camel costume to My Humps, that would be sooooo funny!

My own sin is that whenever I hear a song that is very "danceable" (in the broad sense of the term, not just bellydance) I cannot dance in any other way than with bellydance moves Well, it's not exactly a sin, right? It's just that I am dance-challenged and cannot get bellydance out of my body, right?
same for me!!isnt it great!

While we're at it, I must confess my latest bellydance sin: I practiced sagats to Rammstein's 'Heirate Mich'. Disastrous :p

Default Flogging Molly!

I know EXACTLY which song you are talking about.... "Another Bag of Bricks", right?
I've practiced to that before and was always too chicken to choreograph "for real" to it. My teacher is a bit of a traditionalist and if I ever performed it it would have to be in secret....

I always thought that son would be fantastic to work with though. You should go for it! Let us know how it goes.....
Unlike most modern punkish/ska/irish/pirate rock....I would admit it has strong mid-eastern undertones.

The guys from FM would be mighty flattered....and I'll tell Matt Hensley next time I see him there are bellydancers out there choreographing to the music. He'd be tickled.

Yep -- that be da song! I also like the earlier one on that CD that's more of a sea chanty type of song, and have had some rocking drills to that one as well.

Looove that song!
